    Nancy Pelosi: Netanyahu speech insulting to the intelligence of the United States

    Nancy Pelosi: Netanyahu speech ‘insulting to the intelligence of the United States

    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi dismissed a speech Tuesday from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as full of “condescension” and an “insult to the intelligence of the United States.”
    The California Democrat was visibly upset during Netanyahu’s address on the House floor, in which the Israeli leader urged Congress to take a more aggressive line against Iran as part of the ongoing negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear facilities. Pelosi and other congressional Democrats were critical of the brash language Netanyahu used to describe those negotiation.

    Especially or Specially?

    This is a favorite question of grammar checkers. Most of the time there is little or no difference between the words especially and specially.

    Special is a common adjective. Specially is its adverb form. Special means "particular, distinguished in a distinct way, or designed for a particular purpose." Specially means "particularly, in a disintguishing manner, or for a particular purpose."

    Especial is an uncommon adjective. Especially, its adverb form, is much more common. Especial means "exceptional, noteworthy, or particular." Especially means "exceptionally, in a noteworthy manner, or particularly."

    In the sense of "particular" or "particularly," the words mean pretty much the same thing. Often they can be used synonymously. However, if you want to stress the exceptional or noteworthy quality, then especial or especially is a better choice. If you want to stress the distinctive purpose of something, then special or specially is the word you are looking for.

    Example: This program has specially designed macros for word processors.
    (A distinctive purpose)

    Example: He did especially well in All-Star Game.
    (A noteworthy performance)

    When all else fails pull out the grammar card. He was going to call Res a racist until he realized Pelosi is white.
    Democrats & Republicans Suck Alike.

    Specially means "particularly, in a disintguishing manner, or for a particular purpose."

    Especially means "exceptionally, in a noteworthy manner, or particularly."
    You meant in a noteworthy manner.
